Risks associated with Spanish and Italian banks increased holdings of government debt in 2012
07/13/2011
Spanish and Italian banks bought a large portion of the goverment bonds of their countries under the Long Term Financing Operation launched by ECB chairman Mario Draghi in Dec. 2011. This calmed the financial markets by lowering the bond yields for Spain and Italy, but raises new risks as analysts focus on the risks of the deficit and declining economy in Spain.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
